About Trading Trainer

Trading Trainer was founded in 2003 and released to the public in 2005 by A.J. Brown. Our goal at Trading Trainer is to teach regular people, traders, and investors alike how to safely become better and smarter at trading options. Students develop a subtle understanding of market trends, allowing them to transform their portfolio into a consistent income stream.

Back in 2003, A.J. Brown developed a Foundation for inner city kids to help them get a handle on their finances and get ahead by trading options. He then realized that he needed to have a way to support this non-profit organization that he was so passionate about. Less than a year later Trading Trainer was born. All the profits from Trading Trainer go towards the Foundation.

This makes us unique, in that all our trainers here at Trading Trainer, actually trade daily to support themselves. A.J. Brown himself is paid by his trading, not his training, which is an important distinction between him and the number of other educators out there in the marketplace.

At Trading Trainer we have a down to earth approach to the markets. What we don’t do is promise to help you “get rich quick” – that’s why you won’t see any crazy income claims from us. Instead, our philosophy is more along the lines of protecting your portfolio as much as possible. And that’s why our primary focus with all of our programs is risk and money management. Once you learn how to properly manage risk, trading can be a lot less stressful.

About A.J. Brown

A.J. Brown was born and raised just outside of Washington, D.C. He attended Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology. He went on to study at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, Virginia, where he graduated with two engineering degrees — mechanical and electrical — and a minor in commercial business. A.J. then pursued graduate studies at the University of Arizona before becoming a marketing strategist employed by several large corporations in both the United States and Canada, including Agilent Technologies (Hewlett Packard) in Silicon Valley, California.

A.J. became a protégé in Robert Allen’s Multiple Streams of Income program. Along with nine other investors, he branched off from the protégé program to study with various other “real-world” mentors who had succeeded in the stocks and options markets.

For over three years, A.J. diligently recorded his observations and interpretations of the day’s markets in a nightly email to the original group from the Multiple Streams of Income program. Fascinated with the possibilities that options trading offered, A.J. took on a challenging experiment in February of 2004, in which he started with $5,000. One year later, after only trading options, A.J. turned that $5,000 into $376,000.

At that point, A.J. founded the TradingTrainer.com community where beginners and experts alike could come together to work with A.J. in making significant profits from their investment dollars. A.J. currently teaches options trading and covered call writing in public and private workshops, as well as through the TradingTrainer.com community website and newsletter. His down-to-earth dialogue with students and his sense of humor make learning how to invest enjoyable.
